I Abigail Gregory  age 81 years heir at Law of Joseph Blood Deceased do, upon oath, testify, and declare to the best of my knowledge and belief, that Joseph Blood
did enter the Service in the State of New Hampshire and served as follows, to wit: that he Enlisted into the United States Service during the war, and was in the Battle of Bunker Hill and continued in the service until the close of the war. She further states that when he lived in the Town of Libby , Orleans County, New York he applied and obtained a Pension of 40 Dollars per annum which he continued to draw until his death which I think was in the year A.D. 1827 or 1828 and at the time of his death there was due him six months arrears of Pension due him which I made application for and obtained.
I further certify that I have never received a Warrant for the Bounty Land promised to Joseph Blood on the part of the United States, nor do I believe that he ever received it, or transferred his claim to it in any manner: Therefore
Witness,
Abbie C Thompson Daniel Gray
Her Abigail Gregory L. S. Mark
Know all Men by these Presents:
That the subscribers, of the foregoing Declaration in the County of Steuben and State of New York  and surviving heir of the late Joseph Blood of Libby in the County of Orleans and State of New York deceased, who served in the American Army of the Revolution, have constituted and appointed, and by these presents do irrevocably make and appoint S. R. POWELL, of Willoughby Ohio, my
true and lawful Attorney, for and in my name to prosecute and establish any claim he may have, by any present laws of Congress, or which may hereafter be passed, for Pay, Half Pay, Arrears of Pay, Arrears of Pension, or Bounty Land, with power and authority to substitute any other suitable person to do and perform all legal and proper acts, in the presentation and allowance of any claim now due from the United States or which may become due by virtue of any subsequent act of Congress, he or they may think proper; petition Congress, appear before any Committee of Congress, or the Court of Claims, or any of the Departments of the Government. And said subscribers further declare, promise and agree with said POWELL, that said subscriber will not abrogate, annul, or in any way impair this his said power, or impair the doings of said POWELL, or his substitute in the prosecution of said claim; and that said creditors, or executor, or administrator, will hereafter execute and deliver any additional power of attorney, which shall authorize him or his substitute to do and perform all legal acts in and about the premises that said creditors, or his executors or heirs might or could do, if they were personally present; and the Commissioner of Pensions is requested to deliver to said attorney any land warrant which said creditors now are or shall become entitled to. It being hereby understood, that if said claim has not or shall not be allowed, that said Powell, nor his substitute, shall not make any charge for his expenses or services, but in case the same has been, or shall be allowed and payable, said creditor, executor or administrator, of any land or money found due, allowed and payable, said POWELL or his substitute, shall be entitled to receive at the rate of Eighty Per Cent on the whole amount, and the proper officers of the Government are requested and shall be duly authorized to pay over to him or his substitute, the amount of said per cent, any law which now is or which may be passed to the contrary, notwithstanding. But this power of attorney is not intended to authorize said POWELL or his substitute, to receive in behalf of said claimants, any greater portion of said claim than the amount of said percentage, on moneys allowed. Hereby abrogating and annulling all other powers of attorney heretofore granted by said claimants touching the premises.
In witness whereof, the subscriber has hereunto set her hand and seal, this Twenty Third day of August eighteen hundred and Sixty One
